Has anyone in Bangkok got married recently? My fiancé and I are both farangs, we have our embassy affidavits translated and legalised and now just need the marriage certificate from the Amphur.

I spoke with 2/3 of the Bangkok ones, Khet Prakhanong’s number in not in service, and both said 1-2 months just for an appointment.

I read a blog from 2021 that mentioned a new process. After the initial appointment, the Amphur confirms the affidavits with our embassies and this takes 40 days, rendering the translation and legalisation a pointless process. I’ve only seen this mentioned once though.

After a few years of living here, I think I already know the answer; an agent, but keen to hear any recent experiences.
